it depends a bit on the version of the Umbraco and the settings in your web.config. Can you check for the field 'useLegacyEncoding' in your web.config and share that value (True/False).
first of all check for property changepasswordManually to true
after that just use change password method to change the user password
and check user id by normal identity properties and methods pretty simple.
Preventing the reuse of old passwords
Hi everyone,
How would you stop users from reusing old passwords? How can I find out the hashing algorithm?
I need to compare their old passwords with their new password.
Any help or pointers much appreciated.
Hi Tom,

You can also take a look at this page: https://umbraco.com/products/umbraco-cms/security/ (scroll down to Backoffice security).
Kind regards,
Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
useLegacyEncoding= false
Umbraco 7.6
How can you compare old passwords with new ones, if the passwords have been salted, you can’t compare like for like!
